funds with view OF testing the act Of re-
PROCESSION. 1t is now an indlsputable fact
that the people would prefer TO be back In

tion OF the business men will be heartily In.
dorsed by the residents both OF the county
and city.
Mr.. s. G. Brent, corporation attorney OF

HEAT AND COMBUSTION.
Interesting Lecture Showing the Prop
critics of Both.


Mr.. J. d. Baltimore, NJ. e., member OF
Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, delivered
an instructive and entertaining object lee.
ture on "Ileat and Combustion before the
members OF the Eccentric Association OF
Steam Engineers, at Hilton Hall, yesterday
evening.
MIR. Baltimore, in his remarks, said q
great deal was expected OF the engineers OF
today. Theory had to be combined with
practice. IT. not sufficient TO be able to
run machinery, but knowledge OF cause
and effect was necessary. The aucients
thought heat was a solid, but II was now
known that heat was condition OF ma.
terial substance, the several particles being
put In vibration. As the temperature OF q
body was increased vibration was produced, /,
resulting in heat, which was communicated
gradually. This he demonstrated by put
ting flame TO bar Of iron on which were
suspended some rings, the rings dropping
oil as the heat passed along the bar. Those
present were then shown how TO make their
own thermometers and the zero and boiling
scale explained. The temperatures of
steam at given pressure was also demon
strated.
Mr.. Baltimore performed number OF
interesting feats, among them heating
water by friction, firing cannon by the
heat contained In piece OF ice, and burn
Ing steel watch spring In q bottle Of pure
oxygen.
The cause of combustion was then fully
explained, and the effects OF the different
gases on consumption Of fuel demonstrated.
